A Hamilton Township man who was found dead near his all-terrain vehicle Saturday night suffered a heart attack, officials say.

Jeffrey Hineline, 43, died of coronary heart disease, according to County Coroner Bob Allen. Allen said he was told by Hineline's relatives that the family has had a history of heart disease.

Hineline and his nephew were riding ATVs for much of the day Saturday, Allen said. Around 9:45 p.m., they were riding through a field near Goodale Road when Hineline's nephew realized his uncle wasn't riding behind him.

Hineline's body was discovered with no obvious injuries. His ATV was found flipped over nearby.
